US EditionReports: Yankees Signing OF Randal Grichuk to Minors Deal
Randal Grichuk joins Yankees on minor league deal with spring training invite to provide veteran right-handed outfield depth and strong left-handed batting, sources say.
- On Wednesday the New York Yankees signed Randal Grichuk, outfielder, to a Minor League contract with a non-roster Spring Training invite, Jack Curry of YES Network first reported.
- The Yankees targeted a right‑handed corner outfielder, seeking someone with a.819 OPS versus left‑handed pitching, which Grichuk provides, to address their offseason needs.
- Despite offensive and defensive regression, Baseball Savant still grades him as a near league‑average outfielder, according to last season's stats.
- He could serve as the fourth outfielder, and if he makes the roster, he might share at-bats with Trent Grisham while Jasson Domínguez begins in Triple-A, according to reports.
- Decisions should firm by late March ahead of Opening Day in San Francisco, with other right‑handed outfield targets signing elsewhere, making the roster clearer.
